#16 90 Degree Hose End

The #16 90 Degree Hose End is a precision-engineered hydraulic and pneumatic fitting designed for high-performance automotive fuel, oil, and coolant systems. Built by AEROQUIP under their proven FCM1036 specification, this 90-degree adapter connects 16 AN (dash-16) hose assemblies to 16 AN female swivel ports with reliable directional control. Whether you're routing fuel lines through a tight engine bay, reconfiguring a custom cooling loop, or fabricating a high-flow hydraulic brake system, this fitting eliminates the need for multiple adapters and delivers the directional flexibility that modern engine builds demand.

Constructed from aerospace-grade aluminum and finished in durable blue and red anodized coating, the #16 90 Degree Hose End resists corrosion, vibration loosening, and thermal cycling that occur in demanding under-hood environments. The 90-degree geometry allows hose runs to navigate around engine components, transmission mounts, and intake manifolds without kinking or crushing, which protects system integrity and flow rate. The swivel female port accepts standard AN hose with JIC flare ends, ensuring leak-free connections when properly torqued; the compact 4.4 x 2.6 x 7.4 inch footprint and lightweight 0.37 lb design minimize installation complexity and unsprung mass in performance applications.

Mechanics and fabricators choose the AEROQUIP #16 90 Degree Hose End for fuel injection conversions, turbo return lines, remote oil cooler setups, and custom radiator plumbing on street cars, track vehicles, and engine swaps. The 16 AN rating handles pressures and flow volumes typical of modern carbureted and EFI systems without sacrifice. Installation requires only standard AN wrenches; orientation flexibility allows technicians to solve routing conflicts that would otherwise require expensive custom hose bends, making it an economical solution for both one-off builds and production modifications.
